The seal has become slightly degraded but i havn't been able to detect any leeks from it.
The ding has been there since i bought the camera, it seems that the camera might of been dropped and landed on its hot shoe which would have taken most of the impact but has compressed the part the it screws into slightly.
Basically the threaded part where the hot-shoe is mounted has been pushed in on one side by 1-2mm.
Having another look the rewind crank also appears to have been impacted slightly but it still turns freely.
Basically the camera is not tip top condition, but it still looks good, functions well and takes great photographs. I think it would suit a budding art student or similiar who can give it some much needed love.
